Abstract: Utilizing a transformation due to Birkhoff [3], we establish for the restricted problem of three bodies the existence of conditionally periodic orbits that move in a small neighborhood of one of the primaries. These orbits result from perturbation of elliptic orbits and are valid for all mass ratios of the two primaries.
